Wouldn't plain 'InvokeOnMainThread' do what you are looking for?

From the Wiki at: http://wiki.ios.xamarin.com/HowTo/Threading

/"BeginInvokeOnMainThread will suspend the execution of your thread, and wait for the delegate to be executed on the main thread. When that completes, the thread resumes execution."

I would opt for Task and ContinueWith(). It's an awesome way of dealing with such situations. All locking, WaitHandles or Sleep calls can block the UI thread on iPhone and cause very weird behavior or lockups.

You really can't do it without manually waiting for it.

What you can do is:

object obj = new object ();
BeginInvokeOnMainThread (delegate {
 //Do something
 lock (obj) { Monitor.Notify (obj); }
});

Thread.Sleep (2000);
lock (obk) { Monitor.Wait (obj); }

Ideally we would provide wrappers for common idioms of the .NET plataform like making the
function return an IAsyncResult or Task object.

    Hi,

    In this code...

    ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem (delegate {
       BeginInvokeOnMainThread (delegate {
           // Do something
       });
       Thread.Sleep(2000);
       // Check something
    });

    ... how can I make sure the "// Do something" is completely done
    before
    "//Check something"?

    In other words, how can I check when BeginInvokeOnMainThread is
    done and
    then do some stuff still in the ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem?

    Thanks!
    Mojo
